The good news for all of us is that even the so called experts on this board are wrong about stuff all the time!

Wow, didn’t realize he’d been around so long. He was the Bombers special teams coach under Reinbold in 1997.

I used to think TC was good but posters on here recently have made the case that he is, indeed, ****. That's unfortunate.... While this does feel like an obvious upgrade from Hogan, it also feels like the CFL Recycling Program in high gear...

His run with Ottawa was underwhelming but they are a perennial tire fire so not sure how much that falls on him In 2025, Ottawa finished sixth in net offence, eighth in offensive points, and ninth in yards per play but was 2nd in offensive time of possession. Long way to say his offense had plenty of opportunity but produced very little. He does have history with Zach so maybe he can bring some old ZC out.

Yeah...use 2025 for 2026 and be able to be a bigger spender in FA when you have some money for your higher priced Canadians and players paid with 2025 spare sheckles

There is money left over for the cap season that has to be used up by December 31st that can be used towards next season. I'm thinking that what Walters is doing since he never spent to the cap this past season. We just don't know what the cap situation is from last season (2025).

Well Walters is back on my Christmas card list.

Cap wise, I agree that this is the best position we’ve gone into the off season in in a long time. And you have the ability to fix your cap year to year. If you have the will to do it. We have a few awful deals, but the cap growth and off season turn over makes it workable. Wj, is one of the worst contracts in the league. Dl is one of our biggest positions of need. Idk if we will actually spend at dl though. Zachs lack of consistency and quality concerns me more than his pay. Yes 600k is a yikes. But it’s not like we have a comparable guy available for 400-500k. The only way up for us at qb, is going young. And that is a very risky and lengthy process. These guys we will see what they got. I have to imagine with the timing and cap space left that we have them front loaded deals that won’t hit the cap hard next year. Especially with the importance brady put on guaranteed money. With the current market demski probably goes from too expensive but very effective to a good deal. Even with a raise. We’ve had opportunities and money to spend. We just haven’t done much to invest in league free agent. That’s the big moment I think we are all waiting for. To really see if we’ve changed. Moving on from some one old is inevitable one way or another.

Until of course the moment Thomas arrives on the scene.

Got to say loving the guys the are coming back so far

I saw this on Facebook, I guess we can keep Neufeld and Kolankowski on the team. Good guys!

If you’re talking Argos I would change fans to fan. On a unrelated note hey @bluto

I'll take signing a guy with at least some proven success over a complete unknown like Hogan. It can only get better then what we had last year. If we can get a proven receiver who doesn't necessarily have to be the #1 guy in free agency but someone who has at least been consistent and healthy that would be a good start. Unfortunately the albatross of a contract with Zach really will make or break the team. He's a huge liability and has had 2 terrible seasons in a row. I don't know how Condell can fix a guy with a shot arm who throws into triple coverage at the worst times.

Heard his name for a long time, disnt follow him much, whats the break down of his offenses?
